Hi,
I have posted several times regarding my application.
In a nutshell, I have a server application that logs attached instrument data over USB and Ethernet. My restriction here is having two wires or more to plug all instrumentation in - at least one for USB and at least one for ethernet.
The solution for the USB instrumentation is to route them through a hub into one wire to plug into the computer.
I have seen several low-cost Ethernet->USB as well as USB->Ethernet adapters. I understand that they both get data to your computer but thinking from a lower-level point of view, how does the computer see the data?
For the Ethernet->USB adapter does this mean that data that was initially sent from an instrument in TCP protocol arrives at a /dev/ttyUSB* port in USB fashion? Would I connect to it in my program via accessing the USB port?
I am sure the answer is quite simple but i'd like to know before I order anything up.
An example of one of the units I am looking at is:
